Harfes Perugia no Uta

[Machine Translation] Kumiko Aso, the most brilliant actress of the moment, makes her first overseas film! Iran's genius director, Abolfazl Jalili, presents a beautiful and poignant love myth. An Iranian version of "Romeo and Juliet" is colored by the poetry of the legendary poet Hafez. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2nd Rome International Film Festival. Official selection in the Competition section of the 20th Tokyo International Film Festival. A young man (Mehdi Moradi) is called Hafez, a title given only to those who recite the Koran. He begins teaching the Koran to Navat (Kumiko Aso), the daughter of a prominent religious figure. Without ever looking at each other, they recite the Koran and poems to each other, and fall in love. Unable to hide his love, Hafez is charged with a crime and stripped of his title for reciting poetry, which is forbidden for clerics. Nabert is forced by his father to marry another man, and falls ill for unknown reasons. Will the two be able to meet again after being separated? A fairy tale set against the backdrop of poetry. The love that one cannot help but feel for someone, even if it cannot be fulfilled, is a heart-wrenching experience for all who see it. Language: Persian (partly Arabic) / Monaural
